Businesses need to secure property, information, and people to protect resources and prevent harm. Property like buildings, equipment, and facilities must be protected from theft and fire. Information such as employee, customer, and financial data should remain confidential, as should competitive business strategies. People in the workplace have a right to safety. Failure to secure these assets could result in legal and financial liability, as well as reputational damage. Common security measures include controlled access with ID badges or key codes, alarm systems, visitor logging, and asset labeling to facilitate recovery if theft occurs.
